A private production house. We turn journeys and places into editions worth keeping: day-by-day chronicles, galleries, guides and printed volumes, made for the people who lived them.
Some things deserve better than a camera roll. Each edition is written like a story and built like a book: a cover, a chapter for every day, the quotes worth keeping, a gallery, and when a journey earns it, a printed volume for the shelf.
A farmhouse summer in the south of France, told in ten chapters: the road south, market day, long tables under the plane tree, and the last evening on the coast. Olives, and courgettes the size of forearms.
A week in the Whitsundays aboard a classic motor yacht, kept as a proper ship's log: a cast page billed like a film, a day page for every day, quotes of the voyage, and a printed volume to end it.
Guides that welcome guests the way the house would: how everything works, where to eat, which market is worth the drive. Written for a mas in Provence and a cottage in the Southern Highlands, with more to come.
Every edition is made for family and friends and shared by invitation, by private link only. Nothing on this page links to one, and search engines never see them.
Maison Gourraud is a family house. The craft comes from four generations around the same table: rigour and first principles, twenty-five years of broadcast and event weight, and a next generation fluent in story and software. We build with modern tools, including AI, but every edition is edited by hand and read aloud before it ships.
We make these for our own journeys first, and for a small number of families and friends. If you have a journey or a house that deserves keeping properly, write to the house.
